Here are some pix of Hickery, The Turk and I at OverMountain circa 1993.

Looking at the details, that would appear to be the original barn, which I was told burned completely, and was rebuilt as close as possible to the way it was. I've been reading a little of the history on and off today, but I don't have it all yet. Haven't figured out why the barn is there, but the name goes way back, to the "Overmountain men" who travelled from Kentucky to join the Revolutionary War battle of King's Mountain, SC.

It's an interesting community that lives in the valley, too. More people than I would have thought. Some live very modestly, and others appear to have done much better.

Thank you very much, Book! Now I'll try my hand at making leather and canvas mukluks, like the samples you sent!

That's a good idea... FourDog and I have talked about it a little in PMs. I'll post what I'm testing in the other thread.
